The Biden campaign is in panic mode because they've been losing support in what traditionally has been the most solid parts of the Dem base:

Because of that Team Biden is getting even more shameless than usual in desperate attempts to win back some of the black support they're losing:

Biden's aggressive "outreach" has included telling black voters things like this:
“This is the same guy who wanted to tear gas you as you peacefully protested George Floyd’s murder. The same guy who still calls the Central Park Five guilty, even though they were exonerated,” Biden told the crowd. “He’s that landlord who denies housing applications because of the color of your skin.”
This one's particularly shameless considering the source:
“I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Donald Trump turn America into a place of anger, resentment and hate,” Biden said, calling on the crowd to help him and Harris win a second term. “My question is a simple one: Are you with me?”
Wait, this guy's accusing somebody else of turning America into a place of anger, resentment and hate"?
That's shameless, even for Biden.
Taking all that into account I couldn't help but do a spit-take over what Biden's accusing Trump of doing to win over black voters:

Biden accusing Trump of pandering to black voters is like Alvin Bragg calling somebody else fat.
So far in this campaign Biden hasn't reminded African American voters "you ain't black" if they don't vote for him, but there are still a few months until the election, and Team Joe will be getting more desperate.
Biden also has yet to remind black voters about the time he delivered a warm eulogy for a former member of the Klan. Maybe the Trump campaign should help him out with that.
Now imagine how much a video of Trump fondly remembering a former Klansman would be making the rounds on CNN, MSNBC and elsewhere during an election season.
